Man sitting in his car kidnapped at gunpoint

San Diego 
A 27-year-old man sitting in his car was kidnapped at gunpoint in Serra Mesa Monday night.

The victim was in his car in a shopping center parking lot on Murphy Canyon Road just after 11:30 p.m. when he was approached by a man who pointed a gun at his head, San Diego police said.

He told the victim to unlock the car doors and then got into the back seat and ordered the man to start driving, all while still holding the gun to the victim's head, police said.

The robber had the man drive around for a short time and then told him to drive back to the parking lot where he took the victim's cell phone. He also demanded that the man hand over his money but he didn't have any, police said.

The robber was described as black, in his 20s, 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was wearing a dark colored hat and clothing and had a multi-colored scarf covering most of his face.
